My father, Perry Walker Sparks was in the First Infantry. He fought in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and then became disabled physically and mentally on Omaha Beach. He was always in and out of Army hospitals, and then permanently when I was six years old, so I grew up without my daddy. I was embarrassed for years when someone asked me about him.. but I grew up, and my family told me what he went through, and showed me his medals.. he is and always will be my hero.
Love Grandma Debbie
"War is just fucking bullshit" Wise words, dude... wise words.
When the Captain said, "Earn this", that is the message for All of us.
Yet we have a Former President who thinks these Men were all Suckers to Fight and Die for Freedom!
Every reaction to this movie has the “IS THAT VIN DIESEL??” Moment, it’s funny but honestly sad for an actor that people are shocked to see them in a serious film
check out “Boiler Room” …another movie where Vin Diesel does his dramatics …
You can literally make a 30 min highlight vid of reactors yelling in disbelief: “is that vin diesel!!?”
Net worth of over 200 million I reckon he isn’t really losing sleep over it pet
Now you need to watch “Band Of Brothers”, it’s THE VERY BEST WW2 miniseries ever made.
Agreed!
1. Many WWII vets left the theaters because the D-Day battle scenes were so realistic.
2. The German Captain Miller was talked into letting go is the same one that killed him. Upham finally put him down.
3. The story Ryan tells Miller about the last time he saw his brothers was made up by Matt Damon. He was told to say something interesting, so he did, and it was kept in the movie.
4. There was a USS Sullivans(DD- 68) dedicated to the brothers lost on one ship.
5. I did 24 years in the US Navy. My favorite character is Private Jackson/sniper and my second favorite is Sargent Horvath. RIP Tom Sizemore😇
6. Sizemore also played Boxman in "Flight of the Intruder", a movie I'm in briefly.
My dad's a Vietnam vet. He RACED out & was in the lobby with vets from WW2, Korea, Nam....they were just clutching each other not saying anything. Didn't have to. He said first time he'd heard bullets flying/hitting THAT realistically done in a movie.
I'm in WNY where the Sullivans is anchored as a museum. They just had another fundraiser to help repair it.
@@Chrysalis-uu5ec She's now at The Buffalo Naval and Military Park.
Veterans who saw this film in theaters had to leave until the Normandy sequence was over due to trauma, they said that is Exactly how it was, the only thing missing was the smell of diesel and blood.
One veteran had said "almost accurate, only there were a lot more bodies"
I know
All told, 156,000 Allied soldiers landed in Normandy, on five beaches, Gold, Juno, Sword, Utah and Omaha....Gold and Sword were British, Juno mainly Canadian, and Utah and Omaha American...7,900 British and 15,500 American paratroopers were airdropped before the actual beach landings began, 24,790 British troops landed on Gold beach, 28,845 British troops on Sword beach, 21,400 Canadians on Juno Beach while 34,250 US troops landed on Omaha Beach and 23,250 US soldiers landed on Utah beach.....in addition 196,000 naval personnel manned 6,500 warships and landing craft of various types, and over 11,000 aircraft were involved... D-Day was the largest amphibious landing in military history..... on 6 June 1944, they suffered approximately 10,500 casualties, that is to say, men killed, wounded and missing in action, with the worst of the casualties being suffered on Omaha Beach, with over 2, 000 casualties.
I walked on that Graveyard in the Normandy . Its a real place and it will give u goosebumps on how many graves there actually are . and their all lined up like u see it in the movie but the actual site is way way bigger . this is one of the best war movies ever made , thank you for your reaction on this one instant sub -cheers
Same… It was powerful
I lost a great-uncle during the Battle of the Bulge. My dad found his grave on a work trip to Europe in the late 90's/early 2000's and was able to take pictures for his mom, my grandmother, my uncle that died younger sister. The Europeans, particularly in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg (which is where my uncle is buried) - have such a reverence and respect for the sacrifice that so many Americans made during WW2. I was lucky enough to be on a trip my senior year in high school that started with Queen's Day in Amsterdam (which is their biggest party time) and ended the day after Remembrance Day. We were eating dinner about 5-6 blocks from the royal palace when the "moment of silence" went into effect across the city/country. You could have hear a pin drop from the other side of the city. 50+ years on (that was May 1999), and even the young people back then were educated enough to know that they would have lived under Nazi rule for decades if not for America's assistance. It's amazing to see people show such respect from other countries. Kudos to you for watching this movie. It's one of the most accurate representations of war ever put to film. I remember hearing from so many people when it came out of vets from WW2 walking out at the beginning or going into shock because it brought back memories from 50+ years before that they had live with.
My stepdad turns 94 this year. He lost 4 of his brothers in Pearl Harbor, all on the same ship. Before WW2 he had 6 brothers, after just one.
Both my grand dads fought in ww2, both made it back.
My dad and uncle were in Vietnam
My brother was Navy, I was USMC resv.
My nephew is right now underway in the Navy on a sub.
Ya....my family loves this country through and through. Yes I fly an American Flag every day, even a couple of smaller ones in my flower garden (real men have gardens and flowers, we got nothing to proove.)
God bless your family. I think we need to earn the service your family gave. I am very saddened by our current leadership. It's creating a country where my son has no future. I hope we can change for the better.
The opening is about 25 minutes, the actual Normandy landing lasted 6 to 7 hours...Can you imagine? My dad was on the USS Frankford who provided essential shell cover, taking out the pill boxes of the Germans so the soldiers could climb the hills.
"That first ten minutes"
When this came out in theaters. We had local veterans of WWII, come out to see this movie in full dress.
A good number of them would leave the theater during that first ten minutes. In tears and unable to finish the movie. Heard that a veteran commented that when he could smell the salt, diesel and blood. He knew he wasnt going to be able to finish watching it. A moment in time I am sure nobody would want to relive.
Bro, you're the first one, who had the same reaction like me, as Ryan gives the " I was here with the only brothers that I had left* line. And brother, as a former service men, this line gives me chills and tears in my eyes, everytime I see this film
FUBAR is military slang for fucked up beyond all repair ...or all recognition
6:25 the B.A.R. is the Browning Automatic Rifle. It’s the weapon Reiben uses. The M1918A2 BAR was the standard light machine gun for the US military. It has it’s origins in World War I, and saw combat in the last weeks of said war. By WWII, the BAR was somewhat antiquated compared to other nations LMGs, especially compared to the German MG42, but the BAR is lighter compared to other light machine guns of the era and is a reliable mechanism. In fact, the current US GPMG, the M240, is a BAR action flipped upside down and fitted with an MG42 belt fed system.
I do wish this movie had taken the time to honor some of the men that showed so much courage on Omaha Beach. There was a unit of Black soldiers that most people don't even know about. The 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion was an all Black Battalion that had their own medic. Barrage balloons, you see these in the panoramic view of the beach, were used to keep fighters off the troops. Corporal Waverly Woodson was a medic with the 320th. Though he was assigned to treat the men of his battalion, he wound up treating many of the white injured soldiers even after suffering severe shrapnel wounds himself. Woodson was hit in back and legs yet went on to treat many of the wounded, bandaging wounds, poroviding plasma, removing bullets and shrapnel, and even performing an amputation. While severely wounded he rescued 3 white soldiers who would have drowned. Woodson was wounded when the landing craft he was in hit a mine. The man next to him was killed. Yet, when the ramp went down Woodson went to work doing his job. Cpl. Waverly Woodson should have earned him the Medal of Honor but bigotry led to what I think was a gross injustice. Spielberg missed the opportunity to at least give these men the recognition they deserve. In 2020 the First Army Medical Center was renamed the Waverly Woodson Medical Center. In 2023 Woodson was awarded a Bronze Star and the Combat Medical Badge which were presented to his widow. It might interest people to know that Waverley Woodson also had a brother flying P-51 Mustangs with the Tuskegee Airmen. A great and honorable family which should be held for the heroes they are to today's youth...make that for all of us.
7:40 over 150,000 Allied troops landed in Normandy that day. The Germans were overwhelmed by the sheer number. So even though 4,414 Allied troops were killed (which is staggering) there were still roughly 146,000 that survived to avenge their fallen brothers.
"When you go home, tell them of us and say
For your tomorrow, we gave our today." ~ John Maxwell Edmonds
Omaha was the most heavily defended beach. Second was Juno, where my Canadian family landed
Great observation about the camera angles, I never noticed that.
"Taps" is played at veteran's funeral!
the guy upham shoots is the guy they set free and the guy who shot/killed Miller (Hanks)
The deaf guy who knew where Ryan was, was Ryan Hurst, he played “Opie” on “Sons Of Anarchy”.
He also played “Beta” on The Walking Dead” ….
You were wondering how many men died on that beach in the beginning of the movie. On the real Omaha beach, 2500 American soldiers died on D Day just on that one beach alone.
It is estimated that 4400 Allied troops died on D-Day.
A B.A.R. stands for Browning Automatic Rifle. Box mag fed automatic rifle used by our boys, in caliber 30-06. She was heavy. But the boys loved her. When you needed to rain hate. She was good to go.
"War is when the government tells you who the enemy is , revolution is when you decide that for yourself"-- Ben Franklin..
So at the end, when he's talking to Miller's headstone, his wife comes up, and it's implied that Miller is a name she's not familiar with.
He never told her the story about what happened.
Not talking about it was way more common than talking about it.
Awesome to see this new generation appreciating this amazing movie and recognizing sacrifices made in the past for the world's stability (and now there is an idiot trying to dismantle NATO, a result from the war ). Do not vote for him, or the sacrifice of these man was in vain...
Great upload, awesome reaction! 👌
Ok you legit made me laugh out loud when you said, what is it with movies risking lives to get Matt Damon home.
It is the same German at the end who they let go. In fact, the guy they let go is the one who stabbed Mellish to death. That's why he let Upham go on the stairway.
The guy that killed Melish is not the same man that they let go after Wade was killed and who killed Miller at the end. You can see this on IMDB, the one they let go is listed as Steamboat Willie...the one that killed Melish is listed as Waffen SS soldier...the pictures confirm that it is 2 different characters with 2 different actors...Joerg Stadler vs Mac Steinmeier.
My father flew his first combat mission on D Day. He was the radio operator on a B24 bomber named "Bunny" 445th bomb group 8 th US Army Air Corps. He went on to complete 36 combat missions over Germany and Nazi -occupied Europe. He recounted a story where a German round went straight through the cockpit and decapitated the pilot. The co pilot carried on with the mission with a shattered windshield and a headless corpse beside him. Leaving the formation and returning to England was not an option. People need to understand the horrors of war and it's long term affect on the survivors. Spielberg did a great job in conveying this message. I strongly urge you to watch Spielberg's other WW2 masterpiece, Schindler's List.
Bro, I loved your reaction to this.
But you and me both have never been in a war.
Long may that continue
🙂
It will
Dude, ck out Mel Gibson's "Hacksaw Ridge"!!! It's a war movie, but it's sooo freaking much more. The cast, and their level of acting in it, is unbelievable.
But I hope to see with more comedy soon, too. You're fun. Heh heh
Thank you. Will check it out for sureee
Now you need to watch Band of Brothers, The Pacific, and the recently released Masters of the Air.
Will note these down, thanks
I had those same allergies when I first watched this movie
Same here. The cinema must of been full of pollen.
This was Vin's first role ironically
Saving Private Ryan is incredibly realistic in most every way, with a very few exceptions...such as bullets not being able to kill you more than a few inches underwater, and flamethrowers not really exploding that way in 1944. One thing to know, pay no mind at all to that man who took off his helmet on the beach at 6:00 and then got shot in the head...that next shot would have killed him even if he had kept his helmet on. The helmets of WW2 would almost never stop a bullet, except under very very rare circumstances.
The movie is not a true story, and it differs from the actual history of D-Day in many ways...but the basic plot is loosely based on the 4 Niland Brothers, one of whom served with the 101st Airborne Division. However, when 3 Nilands were reported dead, no mission was sent to get the last brother, and it turned out that one brother that had been thought dead had actually only been captured.
There really was a Company C of the 2nd Rangers that landed on Omaha Beach, but they were commanded by Captain Ralph Goranson, and they did not land quite where it was shown in the film. Probably the most important historical thing that Spielberg got wrong is that he had the boats that carried the Rangers to the beach being driven by Americans...they were not. On D-Day, the boats that carried the US Rangers to the beach were driven by UK sailors of the Royal Navy. There are many other things in the film that are not accurate to the real history of D-Day, but that one really fails to honor some of the men that fought and died at Omaha Beach, so it is definitely the one most worth noting.
Considering the Rangers landed at Pointe du Hoc and most the 29th and 1st IDs were US Coast guard... showing a fictionalized version of a Ranger unit landing on Omaha isn't really more inaccurate than just having a fictionalized landing craft of Rangers in the first place. So I'm net neutral on that nerdism.
@@trevorcorkery Only companies D, E, and F of the 2nd Ranger Battalion landed at Point du Hoc...the other three companies landed on Omaha Beach with the 29th and the 1st Infantry Divisions. C Company was targeted to land on the extreme west of the beach in sector Charlie...their mission was supposed to be to take Point de la Percee and then head west to link up with the Rangers near Point du Hoc, but it did not go much that way for C Company.
@@iKvetch558 Instead of a squad, the War Department sent an Army Chaplain to find Fritz Niland in Normandy. He was found nine days after D-Day and sent home.
@@richardstephens5570 Indeed...nobody was sent behind enemy lines to get him back, but Spielberg wanted to tell his story his way. Now he claims that he was trying to show why the Army would never have sent a mission behind the lines like in his movie...but I am not sure I really believe that.
Movie got us crying Thug Tears by the end
Great Reaction bro
The opening scene is a cemetery in France. If I remember right.Where British, Canadian and American service members were laid to rest from the fighting in France during WWII.
Each of those nations has their own cemetery...the one in the movie is the American Cemetery near Coleville-sur-Mer...the British Cemetery is in Ver-sur-Mer and the Canadian Cemetery is in Beny-sur-Mer.👍
@@iKvetch558 Thank you for the clarification 👍
8.23 guys says "We are not Germans, we are citizens of the Czech Republic, they forced us to join the German army." so they killed not only surrendered soldiers they also killed Czech
Another good review. My dad was in Europe. He refused to go see this movie.
the casualties from Antiatem for 1 day in the Civil War were twice those of D-Day
Ya but they were marching standing straight up, packed shoulder-to-shoulder in ancient formations, directly toward rifle volleys and cannons loaded with grapeshot.
39:29 no Upham is not scared he's jumping for joy and happy as hell
Oh Crap Not Again Why on the actual hell you said that. he wasn't happy did you really watch the whole thing? And saw you other comment what you said its not blood is koolaid. Its fake Blood
@@harvey4512 it's called sarcasm genius
We see here the finest of men....this is why they are referred to as The Greatest Generation....My parents were of that era, raising us to Love God, Family, community and country, to be grateful to the men and women who sacrificed for our freedom and the freedom of other people in other countries, that is how They were raised.
I have a theory in this movie. Everyone who gets the letter is killed. Caparzo has his letter for his dad and he is killed. Wade the medic takes his letter then he is killed. Capt miller (Tom hanks) takes the letter from wade and he is killed. At the end we see Reiben take the letter from capt miller and for me as a viewer I assume he also will be killed.
"Furtchbar," was the German saying meaning "terrible," but FUBAR is an American anachronism. It's similar to the word "flak;" FLiegerAbwehrKanone in German, meaning, basically, anti aircraft cannons.
Shell shock is a condition with psychological and psychosomatic symptoms resulting from exposure to active warfare, which makes people too scared to fight
Good heart. Good reaction.
Thanks -

Browning Automatic Rifle.
43:01 congratulations you learned a new word and now you can't stop saying fubar
Caparzo cared for family too much 🚗
24:20 you're absolutely right they don't know what they're doing that's why they're giving him medicine and they're trying to help him so clearly they're just sitting there for thumbs up there butts
Its not medicine is pressure how do you ever know and they shouldn't have pour water on the blood I get it they are clotting
snipers injured members of a squad so others in the squad would rush to help...
VERY Good reaction
Check out the film The Thin Red Line from 1998. It’s a WW2 film set in the Pacific Theater of Operations on the island of Guadalcanal, and it is fantastic. It’s better than Saving Private Ryan in many ways, and has very few reactions to it on UA-cam. That’s a real shame too!
2500 Americans were killed on this one beach landing. More than in the 14 years of recent war in Afghanistan.
The beach scene was true.
You should watch Band of Brothers, if you like this you will LOVE that. That is basically 100% real.
Yeah that was Normandy on the D-day invasion. 1941. America initially tried to stay out of it in 1939, but Japan went and blew up our ship in Hawaii (u.s.s. Arizona), then we were ok a-holes, game on here we come
D-Day was June 6th, 1944.
@@seekexplorewander Oh dam I messed that up. I was thinking of Pearl Harbor. Appreciate the correction there. I'll leave it up so people can mock and call me an idiot, and I'll sit back and take it lol
Actually, the FDR Administration already had plans to enter the war. Even had detailed analysis about how many years it would take to slowly reconquer Europe and finally take Germany. But in public, they professed that they were going to stay out of it. (Same deception as Wilson in the First World War.)
We embargoed Japan in July 1941, seized their assets in the U.S. and interfered with their supply of oil, essentially forcing them to attack us. That garnered the support of the American people. (Reaction to a supposedly unprovoked attack.) And it got us into the war against Germany by the back-door approach of being at war with Germany's ally, Japan.
During World War 1, German soldiers wld yell "Kamerad" w/hand up (pretending to surrender). When Doughboys (nickname for American WW1 troops) exposed themselves to take them prisoner, a hidden gun wld open up. It didn't take long more many American units to just stop taking prisoners. Of course, Saving Private Ryan was WW2.
Many of the experienced German soldiers stationed in the west had gained their only battle experience on the eastern front, fighting Russia, which took full advantage of the fact that it had not signed the Geneva Conventions, by commonly using an array of cruelty and battlefield trickery which most civilized nations frowned upon. The Germans of course had already been proven quite capable of returning the favor, which meant years of horrific atrocities by both sides in the east.
When Germans who had shifted to the west first faced westerners, they expected a similar slog, but news quickly went viral of a whole different dynamic. Stories began to spread of American, British and French forces performing acts of heroism in order to tend to their own wounded, rather than wasting them as the Russians did, as well as westerners taking surrendering Germans into formal custody - and even feeding them - instead of torturing and killing them.
A lot of Germans in the west soon began to adopt a similar posture in return. There are stories of Germans refusing to open fire on Americans who were rescuing their own wounded, Allied casualties greatly reduced by German troops’ widespread eagerness to surrender in the west, and even German captors going hungry so their western prisoners could eat. When one group of American prisoners protested that their German captors seemed much closer to starving, the Germans shut them down by saying “we are already accustomed to going hungry, whereas you are not.”

Ben Affleck is always trying to get matt damon home... Then he remembers Jennifer lopez is there.
19:49 I'm not a genius like you but I think the med guy is doing his job and helping people
Loved your reaction. You may not know what you're doing but you're doing a pretty good job. You really should consider HACKSAW RIDGE, THE PACIFIC, BAND OF BROTHERS, MASTERS OF THE AIR.
Do I have to do everything myself!?!?!
We all need to earn it
First wave on Omaha Beach had 90% casualties
Spielberg put the whole crew through a 10 day real bootcamp but purposely kept Matt Damon out of it so that the rest of the cast would have resentment for him to add to thre reality of the movie.
Hacksaw Ridge is really close to this movie
Them nazis were very well organised & very well equipped & trained.
Thankfully they were just a small country in Europe.
Actually, Germany is one of the largest countries in Europe. They had an army that numbered in the millions. ( checked Google, they say 13.6 million servicemen in all )
29:58 because they're soldiers they're not cowards if Ryan leaves before reinforcements comes that shorthands them when 150 or 60 Nazis can be turning the corner
Please do Braveheart friend, I just subbed and from Scotland.
Never heard of it, I’ll add it to the list thanks
welcome to the real world,.
25:12 No Ryan's going to stand there and be ungrateful and give them the finger and join the nazi side
Video shows actor boot camp run by Capt Dale Dye (in the movie briefly), everyone except Ryan (Matt Damon)

Is saying "Jesus Christ" the only exclamation you ever use?
The casting Director got the casting all wrong for this movie.
The role of the captain should’ve gone to somebody maybe 24 or 25 years old. The role of the platoon sergeant should’ve gone to somebody in his late 20s. All of the enlisted men should’ve been 17 and 18-year-old actors.
After all, those were the real ages of the men who fought World War II.
Did they not teach you about D-Day in your high school, or Great Britain's equivalent)? This was heavily pushed in our HS in Illinois (USA). If you didn't pass this test, you didn't pass the course, and had to take it all over again. Part of the Constitution test, that some schools actually required. Today's school are a joke. More important to teach about LGBT and the like....Ridiculous!!!
Just credit Spielberg, bro.
Mention him!
He was the amazing director.
Of Saving Private Ryan!!
Fuck!
Give him a name check for Christ's sake!
Why is the picture so tiny??? Can't watch.
4:41 no it's not blood it's red Kool-Aid what do you think it is
you're not very smart are you?
Tom Hanks definitely does not look young here.
He looks young comparatively to now lol
